I will make photos about the card so that maybe will help to identify without booting in any config.

@LiveForIt

So that is still happens as I remember from the past. thanks.

@sailor

I will do the reset then, with removing all devices and cards except the CDRom drive.
The Radeon card I have is the one which was in it before, so practically only the formerly used HDD was removed from the case.

After loading the Kickstart the machine just stops. No reaction for any inputs.

Shouldn't SLB have to be installed during preparation of installing the os?

Changed envs but still no joy. :(

When install cd is in:

When no cd inserted:

When the install cd is in the drive, the machine recognises the hdd and odd then starts to load the kickstart. After loading all modules it remains on that screen instead of starting the AOS boot process itself. The current memory module is an 512 mb one, formerly it had 256 mb only.

I know I know far less to progress well but where canI set A1ide_conf andother stuff?

Thanks a lot...

Will going to read the links too.

@nbache

Honestly I don't know, it does not have any label but pruduct number(s). It is a low profile red pcb with vga, dv-i and hdmi output. Gpu and ram chips are under a heatsink which covers roughly the 3/4th length of the card. Will check it later if I can identify somehow.

@LiveForIt

Thanks a lot, I will go and check all these.
Will refer either it is working or not.

@Hypex

A week ago. That was one of the first thing I did.
I can set everything in prefs, also can start boot from the install cd although I had to try several drives and ribbon cables.

I'd like to ask for help.
I got an A1-XE a while ago, so bought an original OS4.1 CD to make it perfect with no issues.
Now I still have a problem as the machine stops during bootup. The kickstart files are loading but then the reset and switch to Amiga screen just doesn't happen.
The config is an A1-XE (G4@800 MHz, 512 mb ram, a Radeon PCI gfx card an an SB128 for audio.
Anything I should try? 🤔

@Gregor

Sorry for being lame but what is this? I have no clue...

@AmigaOldskooler

Nice!

Got a really good summary for one read, thanks! Will also check previous releases too.

Regarding IBrowse, do you know (or anybody else) how can I check my keyfile, for which release is it valid? I got it more than a decade ago, so can't recall which version was valid then and till which can I use, or do I need to buy the latest?

Great news, thanks. Really hope that the games can be purchased, I'd buy it as did recently in case of Freespace.

I really hope you will not cease developing for NG Amigas. What I can do is not downloading any of commercially released stuff from there but getting it from legal sources. Since I've left my teenages decades ago I can mange to get income for Amiga stuff to pay for, no exception, if I think something catches me, the author must have to get my support.

@LyleHaze

If I understood well the pinout of the internal USB, the 2x4 pins were set in opposite order, so it means the connector of the front panel can be attached in any direction, (after I modded to the same order of course) it won't kill any USB devices, so seems to be quite helpful.

Good to know, but then it is strange why not the same method became common in every mobos. Using idiot proof solutions helps in any case...

Nothing more to do then for me but changing the wires on one side in the connector and pray, when I boot up the machine and plug a stick to the front port... :D

@drHirudo
Maybe you are lucky as I was, when mine was hit by a lightning through the ethernet port the network chip burnt out, but after removing the board itself works as new. Thinking on to reseat a new IC so then my PCI slot will be available for something else.

@sailor
How much ram do you have on your mA1?
Tower57 requires at least 512 MB, but the original version was asking for 1024...

I used only a network card in my mA1's PCI slot. I had to , as about a decade ago the onboard network chip was died due to a lightning came in through my modem. The chip was burnt out...

Wonder if a PCI SATA card can be used? I'd like to use an SSD with that config, so either an IDE2SSD adaptor could be good, but also a real SSD card for both the DVD and SSD...

@lazi

I'm pretty sure about the availability of this game continously from the past when it become available.

Many downloads have been done on that archive on OS4depot.net, so.

If something once have been released, then it will be spreaded over the world, 'till when Earth stops spinning.
I bet many Amigans still have floppy disks infected with a "living" Lamer Exterminator virus...

Funny but when it was released, I did not get a copy from OS4depot, but now I would like to, from anywhere :)
